Over 30 years, Anne Scheiderer has served Union County Farm Bureau in just about every capacity: county president and as chairman of the women’s, safety, public affairs (now government affairs), and advisory council/young farmer committees as well as a delegate to OFBF annual meeting. Currently she is the county board of trustees’ secretary and promotion and education chairman. She and her husband, James, are members of two advisory councils, Darby Plain Talkers and Earth Moovers. The Scheiderers have three sons, two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren. They raise corn, hay and soybeans and finish nearly 100 cattle each year. She was raised on a farm in Union County, was a seven-year member of 4-H, became an adviser at age 17 and continues today. She is involved at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where she’s a member of the choir, Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, superintendent of Sunday School and a 45-year Sunday School teacher. She is a clerk at the Union County Board of Elections. "I joined Farm Bureau as my way to help on the farm. Now I know people all over the state," she said. Scheiderer said she chose to get involved in Farm Bureau because she saw it as her way to help agriculture: Her family took care of all the farm work, so she put herself to work in Farm Bureau. | |
